Really, how many of the 12.5 million followers are US citizens? Of those how many are at least 18? And even if there are 2 million US citizen followers of voting age, how many of those give a **** about politics. You assume a lot, my friend and you know what they say about folks that ass-sume!

Madonna is like 60 years old. Who younger than 18 is following her?

It is a human rights violation if they do not figure out how to process claims for asylum, and give diligent consideration to those claims. Its fine that they can't handle everyone at once, but they have to figure out how to handle everyone.

A mob attempting to rush the border is not seeking asylum. None of them are really. They were just coached to make that request. What we have been doing for the last couple decades is called "catch and release" They would be given a date to show up for an asylum hearing. Few if any show up for those hearings, they just melt into the woodwork and demand amnesty 10 12 years later.

Talking about killing anyone is out of line. Madonna is not a role model for anyone I know, and what's wrong with calling yourself a "nasty woman" if that's what you want to be. These people you're picking on have no influence over the masses as you obviously fear.

Maybe they have influence over him. They are using their sexuality and their gender to spread a message so.... Bucky no likey.

I haven't seen Trump since I married in 1971 but in 69 & 70 we were good friends.

He didn't inherit a few hundred million where did you here that?
Who was he inheriting these sums from, His father passed away
when Don Trump was already a billionaire I think he was over 50
when Fred Trump died. Fred Trump had 4 or 5 children so I imagine though
I'm not sure that he left most of his money to his children who
were less fortunate than Don was. You are correct however that Trump's father
I heard did bail him out when Trump overextended.
Click to expand...

So you have no idea how much was left to Donald.

And you acknowledge daddy bailed him out repeatedly, and if you knew anything about his history, you'd know daddy also bankrolled his early projects, when he didn't provide Donnie the capital or loans directly (which daddy often then forgave) co-signed them and put daddy's riches at risk for Donnie's failures. Well, guess what, when daddy's wealth is what got you started, provided the wealth necessary to obtain loans, and repeatedly bailed you out of bad decisions throughout your adult life, you're not "self made."

Best economy? What a load of steaming bat**** this is. Presidents don't create anything, and you know it.

Self made? My ****ing ass. He had hand outs from dear dad.

You lot are misguided and pathetic.

Yah. See https://www.politifact.com/punditfa...ty-undocumented-immigrants-show-court-data-s/

"So what do the court attendance rates of asylees look like? While the data is scarce, they show higher rates, compared to when all migrants are tallied together.

"One source of data comes from an Obama-era program that released asylees from detention and matched them with case managers who encouraged compliance with court-ordered obligations. As of April, the Family Case Management Program, or FCMP, had 630 enrolled families.

"Before the Trump administration ended the program in June, participants had a 100 percent attendance record at court hearings. They also had a 99 percent rate of check-ins and appointments with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to a Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General report.

"According to ICE, overall program compliance for all five regions is an average of 99 percent for ICE check-ins and appointments, as well as 100 percent attendance at court hearings," the report said. "Since the inception of FCMP, 23 out of 954 participants (2 percent) were reported as absconders."

"In 2015, the immigration advocacy group American Immigration Council published a report that looked at studies from over the previous two decades that examined how well asylum seekers fulfilled their legal obligations. It found studies showed "very high rates of compliance with proceedings by asylum seekers who were placed into alternatives to detention."

"The report cited a 2000 U.S. government-commissioned study that found an "83 percent rate of compliance with court proceedings among asylum seekers who were found to have a credible fear in the expedited removal process." It also showed an 84 percent compliance rate among asylees under minimal supervision, and 78 percent among those who were unsupervised."

So - do you have any cites for your conclusions?

I guarantee you that a Puerto Rican bartender from the Bronx knows how to handle whiny elite white men. Fox News is doing FOR her what CNN and other networks did FOR Trump. They are building her up and giving her more screen time. Or do you think they would hold a segment about her shoes if she was a white guy? SMH.



I hate her policies, but her messaging is spot on.

So she makes a her donation of her shoes the “Women Empowered: Fashions from the Frontline” by Cornell. Was she speaking of Cornell or herself, oh wait, that would be self-obsession. An unintentional insight on her part, methinks.

1. Trump is not a self-made billionaire, he just plays one on TV. He inherited most of his core wealth and, to our knowledge, has yet to have completely peed it all away.

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/a...mp-even-inherited-his-father-s-self-made-myth

2. Trump has done almost nothing to "create" this economy. We are merely continuing one of the longest peacetime booms, which began during Obama's watch. In spite of trying to sabbotage the economy with things like tariffs and creating instability with American partner in Europe, Trump hasn't screwed it up yet. I guess the Obama economy is just that strong.

...as to dumb s**t, the current guy is probably the most ignorant and intellectually lazy person ever to hold the office. Two years in and still has no understanding of the job.

I don't care if you lose sleep over it, but in debate when you make assertions you can not defend we get to assume that assertions are not valid. Hence post #155 is stricken from the record as unsubstantiated gibberish. Nothing but an utterance of personal opinion.

Thanks for trying to defend your position. Its a pity you could not.

No, debate theory dictates that. Just like making a statement in a court of law, if you can't back it up with evidence, its disregarded; considered not true.

https://sites.google.com/site/anintroductiontodebate/lectures/1-the-basics

Again, you have been unable to substantiate your claims so they are considered to be "not true"

I find it rather interesting that you chose to spend your time challenging generally accepted convention on debate rather than actually debating. Why can't you just tell us where you got this notion in the first place? The logical conclusion is that you can't, which means its probably not true.
